The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 217 The Heat's Slow Heat (asking for a subscription, asking for a monthly pass)
After being shot by a rookie, Wade was a little unhappy. In his eyes, the Thunder was still an immature team.

Their main players are all new generations who haven't played for many years, and their coach is just a novice who has coached for less than a year. Even though the team's current record is good, they are still too young.

"Young", this is almost all the media and players in the NBA label the Thunder. They only pay attention to the superficial age. These players are inexperienced, have not played in the playoffs, and are not strong enough to fight tough battles.

But no one has seen the training state of the Thunder, and no one in the entire team has let up from top to bottom.

Whether it's the Thunder's three juniors or the fringe players on the bench, their enthusiasm for basketball and desire for training are obvious to all. Although Brooks is a rookie coach, it is exactly the same. He will study tactics until late at night every night.

They are motivated because they are young, and they have infinite possibilities because they are young.

……

After Chalmers dribbled the ball across the half court, he passed the ball to Wade on the wing. This was the coach's arrangement, and the position was Wade's familiar singles spot.

Lin Yue opened his hands, observed Wade's movements, waited for the opportunity, and was ready to defend at any time.

Wade first kicked off with his right foot, pretending to break through, but seeing that the defender was unmoved, he simply started straight away, exerting force with his right foot, and broke through from the left.

"It's so fast." Lin Yue thought to himself. Even though he knew the opponent's speed was fast and he was prepared, he still couldn't keep up with Wade's first step when defending frontally.

After passing Lin Yue, Wade used the stray step. Although the ranking was changed, it was actually a disguised version of the European step.

Wade embraced the ball with his right arm, lifted it up, and avoided Curry's defense, and the ball passed directly above Curry's head.

Then, take a big step to the left, fake a layup from the left, trick Collison's defense, actually change direction, and take a final step to the right to complete the layup.

The fans at the scene were stunned for a moment, and after seeing the goal, they began to revel. This is Wade's signature move, which has been tried and tested and is extremely confusing. Therefore, it will also be called the Lost Step.

"This shot was amazing. It was just a single person who tore through the Thunder's defense. The name 'Flash' is well-deserved. It seems that Lin Yue is facing DW today is a challenge." Barkley said, he can't wait to see Lin Yue's remorse. It's strange to say that he has commented on so many games, but he has never seen this kid collapse.

This should also hit the rookie wall.

Barkley's heart was about to move. He began to imagine that Lin Yue begged to worship him as his teacher after being beaten. At that time, if Lin Yue became famous, he would also be called a master. Lin Yue was also called "Flying Pig Barkley's Disciple".

At this time, Lin Yue was thinking about how to solve the defensive problem. He clearly had a warning just now, but he still failed to defend. This gap in personal strength reminded him of the scene in the Olympics again.

But this is not difficult to accept. After all, Wade is now the second in the league, and Lin Yue is just a rookie. There is still a few years of experience between them. Maybe he can't do anything to each other now, but as time goes by, he will become stronger and stronger.

However, if you want to win this game, you must limit the opponent's attack.

Curry had already dribbled the ball across half court, Lin Yue looked at Wade and thought a lot.

Being stared at by Lin Yue, Wade always had the feeling that he had become a prey. He had only seen this fierce look in Kobe and James. It was a strong desire to win.

"This kid doesn't look simple." Wade said to himself, but he will not be ashamed. In basketball, he will not lose to anyone, and it doesn't matter who comes.

This is the confidence that stars have.

This time Lin Yue did not choose to shoot himself, and passed the ball to Durant who was behind him.

That's right, the key to winning this game lies in Durant.

Beasley's offensive talent is not bad, and his physical talent is also strong, but due to his neglect of defense, his current defensive awareness is very poor, and he will be easily deceived. There will inevitably be a head-on contest between the second place in 07 and the second place in 08.

After catching the ball with his back, Durant turned around and leaned back to shoot. There was no fancy movement, just a direct pull and a direct shot. With his height and wingspan, there was no one in the same position who could cover him, let alone a backward shot.

Beasley tried his best to defend the ball. Obviously, his proud talent is no more than that in front of Durant.

"Shh!"

The basketball went into the net, and Durant beat Beasley in a frontal singles. After the goal, he trotted and jumped back to the defense, obviously a little excited.

This game is very important to the whole team. Every time they compete against a strong team, they will be fully prepared. In the words of the coach, it is to adapt to the intensity of the playoffs in advance. If they can beat the strong team in the regular season, they will have enough confidence in the playoffs.

In their view, the Heat are a strong team. They have the scoring champion Wade, the 2005 three-point champion Quentin Richardson, and O'Neal, both inside and outside.

Subsequently, the Thunder strengthened the restrictions on Wade. Lin Yue defended against penetration and shot, and Collison and Sefolosha were also ready to defend at any time. Wade's breakthrough was too lethal, and they had to limit this first.

Under this kind of targeted defense, Wade has a lot fewer shots, and he mostly gives the ball to Jermaine O'Neal inside.

This time Collison finally stood up. As the team's rare veteran with big game experience, he has been physically confronting O'Neal, who is stronger than him, on the defensive end.

Under this kind of interference, O'Neal's shooting rate was less than 50%. After a day's rest, the Thunder came prepared for this game.

首节结束，雷霆队凭借杜兰特的亮眼发挥，单节7中5拿到14分5篮板2助攻的完美表现，一举取得8分的优势，以25比17的比分结束首节。

After Wade scored the first goal in a beautiful solo, the next one was 6-for-1. There were iron strikes in the American Airlines Arena. Lin Yue's height and wingspan still limited Wade's shooting.

In addition, Wade's hand feeling is really not good today, he even made 2 of 0 free throws, so unlucky.

However, in the first quarter, Wade was still as strong on the defensive end as ever. The unsatisfactory offense did not affect the rhythm of the defense. He had 3 steals in a single quarter, two of which were steals from Durant.

Under the defense of Collison and Ibaka, Jermaine O'Neal made 7 of 3 shots, scored 6 points and 4 rebounds.

"The Thunder are in really good form today. The internal and external defense put pressure on the Heat. They found their form first when they came on the road. It seems that the Heat are as slow as ever." Barkley said with a smile. Half of the games won by the Heat this season were behind at halftime, which is a properly slow team.
